Sharp Dressed Man

Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

The guitar solo was ranked number 43 on Guitar World's 2009 list of the 50 Greatest Guitar Solos. [1] The song reentered the Billboard charts in 2020 following the release of the documentary ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas. [2] Nickelback covered the song as a tribute at 2007's VH1 Rock Honors. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
